Need to Stop Bots from Killing my Webserverthanks, but I do not want to completely block the Google, MS Bing, and Yahoo bots, but I want to limit there direct hits on the rss2html.php script file. I just need to add something to the beginning of the rss2html.php script that will prevent it from running if it was not accessed via the index.php script. The bots are currently running the rss2html.php script bypassing the index.php file.

I tried this using sessions (see original post above) but it's not working well.

Need to Stop Bots from Killing my WebserverI did use a cookie login but the site is not really a user login type site. The login was just an attempt to stop the on-slot of bot hits. However, I really want to avoid having a login all together.

Need to Stop Bots from Killing my WebserverI tried putting the rss2html.php script code outside of the website in the past and it caused too many loop-back connection that ended up causing excessive CPU resource usage.
